Operational Excellence Solutions
Coaching support to help your business improve your competitive advantage by increasing productivity and profitability.
Who it is for
Access to online resources, general advice and attendance at some workshops is available to all businesses in Northern Ireland.
The specialist advisory support is open to Invest Northern Ireland clients, which are manufacturing and/or tradeable services businesses with the potential to both:
- achieve at least 25% of sales external to Northern Ireland (or at least £250,000 external sales, whichever is lower)
- employ at least ten staff, within five years
If you can demonstrate that your business meets these criteria, you may be eligible to apply to become an Invest NI client.
